    $8 wine flight!
    Daizha E.

    You had me at $8 wine flights!!!! I didn't realize this even existed here at SSC but such a great hidden gem! The service was great, lots of wines to choose from (which were all delicious) and such a relaxed ambiance. I actually had a flight of reds, went to the garden center and then came back for a flight of whites because they were that good. Can't wait to come back!

    If you ever wonder where people learn to make work, look no further than our own community college. This review is for the tasting room - which offers low priced tastings paired with a charcuterie tray in a laid back environment. This time in, we came on a spring day and sat outside, enjoying being surrounded by plants you could also buy at the nursery. The place has a nice community feel and is less stressful than the wine places with high dollar tastings. Are the wines the best I have ever tried? No, but they were still decent and drinkable, especially in such a nice, learning environment.

    Wine tasting was good need to add food paring! The 2017Grenache was the best we tasted. Good ambiance with music.

    A group of friends and I stopped in yesterday to a FREE wine tasting of various wines paired with goodies from the SSC Pastry Chef school and charcuterie.

    I rarely leave one-star reviews because I usually choose places I genuinely enjoy--but this…read moreexperience was beyond irritating and disappointing. This used to be one of my favorite spots at Pike Market. For years, I made it a tradition to bring out-of-town guests here. Over time, I have brought more than 100 people here. It had a charming, warm, and welcoming feel--like a hidden gem in the city. It oozed with kindness and fun. Unfortunately, that has completely flipped! Since the new manager, Anthony, took over, the entire atmosphere has shocked me. What was once inviting now is rigid, cold, and unwelcoming. The biggest issue, however, was the way I was treated. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, which was both surprising and disappointing given my long history with this place. Great establishments are built not just on food or ambiance, but on how people are treated--and that piece is clearly missing now. It's especially unfortunate because the rest of the team still shows glimpses of what this place used to be. Jordon, was genuinely kind and pleasant, but one positive interaction couldn't outweigh the manager's miserable attitude. It's hard to see a place that once felt so special lose its charm like this. I know the winemaker Paul is a great person - so it is hard to leave such a terrible review, but at the same time, if this was my place -- I would want to know what was happening behind the scenes at my establishment. I truly hope leadership reflects on how customer experience is being handled moving forward. Don't give money to places that have toxic attitudes and are joy crushers! Life is too short and far too precious! In the meantime, there are many nearby spots that consistently deliver both quality and incredible hospitality. Skip this place, and instead go to Browne Family Vineyards Tasting Room, The Lonely Siren, The Pink Door, Place Pigalle, or Maximilien. Those places are working very hard to create an exceptional experience!

I thought that was pretty cool so we walked into a wonderful staff. They seem like they know their wines and you can do a wine tasting here. It was a fun experience and the taste of them is all very different! I thought that was pretty cool indeed. So if you want to try some local Washington Wines, try it out here.

I loved my wine and the cheese board. My partner usually drinks espresso martinis if it's an option and he really really liked this one, so don't be shy to try the cocktails if wine isn't your thing as that's high praise from him! The staff were very polite and friendly but perhaps a bit overrun after the game, so things took a little while once they got busy (which is totally fine as we weren't in any hurry). The vibes were very chill but still classy and comfortable. The patio was dog friendly too!

Housed in the 1906 Seller Building, the décor features dark woods, antique brass lighting and rich leather seating -- all of which create an environment that is upscale but cozy. Whether you're escaping a rainy Seattle afternoon or winding down before or after an event nearby, this is a place where you can settle in, relax and enjoy. This is the perfect place to pregame a concert at Wamu or Seahawks game! It also is in the heart of Pioneer Square so perfect for hosting guests. Taylor Shellfish is around the corner and offers corkage fees The wines are the heart of the experience. The Browne Family team bring the terroir of eastern Washington to Seattle with a curated portfolio of varietals, small-lot offerings and tasting-room exclusives. The best part is they also have whiskey flights so everyone feels pleased!!
